LONGMONT -- The intersection of South Pratt Parkway and Missouri Avenue likely will be closed until mid-March as work on the Left Hand Creek flood control project continues, according to city officials.

Trees in the construction zone have been removed and improvements along the creek are beginning, according to a statement released Thursday by project manager Steve Ransweiler.

This week, crews began working on the north side of Pike Road at Left Hand Creek. No lane closures or traffic delays are expected, but cyclists and pedestrians are advised to be cautious in the area. Utility trucks and construction equipment will be in that area for several days, according to the statement.

South Pratt Parkway is closed to all traffic and pedestrians at Missouri Avene; Missouri Avenue is open, with occasional lane closures.

Bad weather or unexpected project delays could delay the re-opening of the intersection past March 15, according to the statement.
